Filming for the upcoming fourth season of Stranger Things got underway in Lithuania in January 2020. Hopper’s sequences in the Russian prison were chosen because Lithuania was utilized as a stand-in for Russia’s cold setting in the Season 4 teaser trailer.
After a few weeks of filming in Atlanta, where the previous three seasons had taken place, the COVID-19 epidemic struck, and production was halted. In September, production began in Georgia, but cast members have been flying in and out of Atlanta for filming blocks.

When Is Stranger Things Season 4 Set?
We don’t know exactly when Season 4 of Stranger Things will take place, but we can make an educated guess. There were three seasons: Season 1 (November 1983), Season 2 (October 1984), and Season 3 (Summer 1985).
The longest gap between seasons of Stranger Things was a year. Season 4 is set in the spring of 1986, as evidenced by the new trailer, which depicts Eleven and Will in California just before Spring Break. Because of the Creel mansion, it is also possible that flashbacks to events in the house in the 1950s will be shown.
What Is the Stranger Things Season 4 Story?
In February of 2020, a brief synopsis of the Stranger Things 4 story was released that confirmed that David Harbour’s Hopper will return and that the character wasn’t dead. In the finale of Stranger Things 3, Hopper sacrificed himself in front of the enormous wormhole that the Russians had opened up beneath Hawkins, IN.
After the credits, we were taken to a Russian prison, where guards were discussing “the American” in one of their cells, a reference to the protagonist.
“He will encounter threats both human… and other” when Hopper is imprisoned in Kamchatka, Russia in Season 4 of Stranger Things. The Russian Demogorgon was also shown in the post-credits sequence of Stranger Things 3.
Hopper’s stay in the Russian jail alters him, and Harbour teased a “resurrection” and “resurgence” for the character like Gandalf’s in Lord of the Rings. In an interview with Collider.
They have also claimed that Season 4 would explore a world outside of Hawkins, Indiana; this is evident in the teaser, which shows Byers fully steeped in Californian culture. That doesn’t imply that the Hellfire Club, the Dungeons & Dragons club at Hawkins High, isn’t going to play a big role in Season 4, as we know from the casting descriptions.
This season will feature a psychiatric hospital and a character named Victor Creel, played by Robert Englund. Further hints were dropped in the second teaser, which suggested that we’ll be seeing more flashbacks to Eleven’s time as a youngster at Martin Brenner’s treatment center, which included the Rainbow Room.
This season’s Stranger Things 4 will take place in three different locations: Hawkins, Russia, and an unnamed third location.
